Deny these the Liberal Party leader asked these questions in the HOC and Rocco Rossi actions.

The federal Liberal Party is using the Afghan torture allegations as a fundraising tool.

Michael Ignatieff posed this question: “What kind of government, what kind of Canadian government does nothing to prevent torture?”

Mr. Ignatieff stood for his second question. “Mr. Speaker, reports of torture reached the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister’s own national security advisor,” he said. “For 18 months, the government knew about torture in Afghan jails. For 18 months, it did not investigate. For 18 months, it did not stop it and it has covered it up.

"Best of luck with a party that smears our sons and daughters and brands them as War Criminals."

Using typical GOP tactics now CanadianNumbskull? When losing the argument, change the channel and accuse your opponent of being against our soldiers. Where did anyone say anything against our troops in all of this? How pathetic & simple you are CS.

The point of this whole episode is not that our diplomats made mistakes, politicians ignored warnings, and that our troops just followed orders. The point is the cover-up.

And for what?

Harper would do better by admitting mistakes were made and to begin an inquiry. He risks taking this episode from a mere 2-3% drop in the polls, to doing serious damage to our nation's international image simply because he’s stonewalling the whole matter. As politicians should have learned ever since Nixon, it is not the act that hurts you ...it’s the cover-up.

I could case less that Harper is screwing himself by not calling for an inquiry, my only concern is the damage this does to Canada's reputation. And judging by the poll numbers, a sizable number of hardcore CPC supporters even know this is wrong.

If Canada is proven to be complicit in torture then those soldiers you keep creaming about have tarnished us all. Same with the craphole general and douchebag politicians you can't stop masturbating over.

Keep getting yourself off two handed Oakville Crackpot, its probably the closest you're going to get to getting lucky.

Testimony from three Retired Generals(Opposition MP are calling them liars?)

You morons got played and chose to believe Colvin and run with it?

Where is you PROOF, hard evidence?

"How ludicrous a statement is that from any one single individual who really has no knowledge to be able to say something like that, and we didn't see any substantive evidence to indicate it was that way," Hillier said. Gauthier also denied he had heard any allegation of torture in 2006."To be clear and precise about this, last week’s evidence states categorically that the very high risk of torture in Afghan prisons was first made known to senior members of the Canadian Forces in May of 2006 and repeatedly thereafter," Gauthier said."In actual fact, I and others received such warnings in a substantial way for the first time more than a year later than that."Gauthier also said that Colvin's 2006 reports from May to September never mentioned the risk of torture or suspected torture. He said the word torture does appear in a Dec. 4 report, december but could be "reasonably interpreted to be a warning of torture.""I can very safely say there is nothing in any of these 2006 reports that caused any of the subject matter experts on my staff nor by extension me to be alerted to either the fact of torture or a very high risk of torture. Nothing," Gauthier said.

Chantal Herbert:

The former top military leaders and the distinguished mandarin who testified this week do not deny that Colvin's correspondence existed, that it was voluminous and widely available at the highest levels of the bureaucracy and the government. But they totally take issue with his depiction of their content and his characterization of their responses.

Conservative strategists are hoping that by parading generals and senior public servants in support of the government's position, they will turn the tide.

To all intents and purposes, an opposition-controlled parliamentary investigation has been successfully hijacked by the government's spin doctors.==========================You team got "played" again.

Left to twist on those smears and accusations. See you on the campaign trail.

So slimeball Anders sent his Conservative anti-semitic flyers to Montreal. Aslo scumbag Flanagan shoots off his mouth:

"...According to Flanagan, attack ads and flyers work if a party can successfully skirt the line between truth and distortion.

"If an attack is totally fictional, it will backfire if there's not truth in it at all," he says. "Canadians will tolerate attacks based on half-truths, misstatements, partial misstatements and distortions. As long as there is some basis there it becomes a matter of debate. If there's no basis it will backfire."..."
